Just got this in the mail. It’s already on my wall with good company. Today is a good day.

The story behind this particular tambourine from Yolanda : “It was 4/9/94 gold masquerade ball. And me and a friend went together and we were front row center. I wish I could remember the set list but I don’t. While he was performing he grabbed the tambourine from where the drums were and hit the tambo a few times while singing then walked by and as he did he handed it directly to me. That was the only one he gave out that night too. Wish I could remember more details but it seems like sooo long ago and all the times I’ve seen him run together.

The only other time I was closer to him was when he came into the glam slam club vip and only about 5 people were there and my girlfriend and me were kissing and we started dancing and he walked over towards us stood against the wall with a lollipop in his mouth and he was all by himself and watched us as we were dancing seductively together for about 5 min. Next thing we know we looked up and he was gone. Never forget that night.”

We would like to thank everyone that came out to our 80’s party on Saturday night. To see photos from the party click here. For info on how to order 80’s music video DVD’s click here. To give you an example this is what is on the first 2 discs.

This is just a starting point for those getting into rap music or for younger fans that wants to enjoy the older classic albums. It is not the “be all list,” it’s just a list compiled by 22 people (my friends and music lovers). There are so many albums that we split the rap lists into A and B. In my opinion list A are must haves and list B are albums you should get after you have all the ones on list A. The list below is compiled so far by David P., Nicole A., Jeff H., DJ Pone, Chase, Jimmy Taco, Eric. R., Skinny Fresh, Nick, DoodlebugV2, Bps, T-Rock, Maurice J., Spence Dookey, Mike Nice, Mike P., Gert, Pej, Vincent V., Corey N., DJ Toast, M. Bull.

What a way to spend Labor Day Weekend. Two gigs in two cities, two nights in a row. On Friday night it was at Nectar Lounge in Seattle. Gigs on holiday weekends can be tricky and even though it was the night before the 3-day festival Bumbershoot we had a good turnout. As always it was good to see Tate, Jed, Ken, Jonathan, Michelle and Mone Love. Here’s some photos from the Prince and Michael event.

On Saturday night it was our return to Madrone Art Bar in San Francisco. It was great to be back at the place where the “magic” first began. Special thanx to Mike and the entire staff at Madrone. Shouts to the usual PR+MJ suspects; Evol, Meredith, Ron, Ankur and Randy. We appreciate your support. Click here for photos from the night. It was our first time broadcasting live from the event on ustream. You can watch some of the recorded video segments here.

On August 28th I was fortunate enough to present The Prince vs Michael Experience in Chicago at Beauty Bar. The night was a success and I’ll be back on October 16th. I met some really nice Prince and Michael Jackson fans in Chicago. Thank you to Peter, Brent, the entire Beauty Bar staff, Kristina and Geri. Shout outs to Marcus, Tony, Diane, Camilla, Lakeesha, Nik, Stymie, Jo, William, Diana, Ab, Mone, Kristie and the many others whose names I didn’t catch or elude my memory. Here’s some photos from the event. Cheers and looking forward to October!
